ESCRIPTION
The ICS874004 is a high performance Differential-
to HCSL Jitter Attenuator designed for use in PCI
HiPerClockS™
Express™ systems. In some PCI Express™
systems, such as those found in desktop PCs, the
PCI Express™ clocks are generated from a low
bandwidth, highphase noise PLL frequency synthesizer. In these
systems, a jitter attenuator may be required to attenuate high
frequency random and deterministic jitter components from the
PLL synthesizer and from the system board. The ICS874004
has 3 PLL bandwidth modes: 200KHz, 400KHz, and 800KHz.
200KHz mode will provide maximum jitter attenuation, but with
higher PLL tracking skew and spread spectrum modulation from
the motherboard synthesizer may be attenuated. 400KHz
provides an intermediate bandwidth that can easily track
triangular spread profiles, while providing good jitter attenuation.
800KHz bandwidth provides the best tracking skew and will pass
most spread profiles, but the jitter attenuation will not be as good
as the lower bandwidth modes. Because some 2.5 Gb serdes
have x20 multipliers while others have than x25 multipliers, the
874004 can be set for 1:1 mode or 5/4 multiplication mode (i.e.
100MHz input/125MHz output) using the F_SEL pin.

ICS
The ICS874004 uses ICS 3
rd
Generation FemtoClock
TM
PLL technology to achieve the lowest possible phase noise.
The device is packaged in a 24 Lead TSSOP package, making
it ideal for use in space constrained applications such as PCI
Express™ add-in cards.
